In principle, we approve admission of transfer applicants. To be eligible for consideration for admission, applicants should meet the following conditions:
1. They are in good academic standing, i.e., not on probation or dismissed from the institution from which they are transferring.
2. They are transferring from a recognized and accredited institution of higher education offering learning experiences equivalent to those offered at AUS and have successfully completed one or more semesters in that institution.
3. Prior to their admission to the institution from which they are transferring, they met the AUS requirements for admission.
4. They meet the English language proficiency requirements of AUS.
5. They submit official transcripts of their high school and college/university records along with the syllabi and descriptions of courses they seek to transfer.
6. They achieved at their institution a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) as required by AUS. For academic year 2011-2012, the required minimum CGPA is either 2.5 or 3.0 on a scale of 4.0 depending on the type of institution the applicant is transferring from.
Furthermore, the minimum required course grade(s) to consider for transfer is either a C or a B depending again on the type of institution the applicant is transferring from. The appropriate academic division at AUS solely makes the decision on awarding credits.
